Lease Return Options

Ford Lease Returns

As the end of your lease term approaches, it's time to weigh your options. Whether you're looking to upgrade to a new Ford, hold on to your current vehicle, or return your lease, we're here to help you through each step of the process.

Option 1: Trade-in for a New Ford

When your lease concludes, you have the opportunity to trade in your current vehicle for one of Ford's newest models, offering a seamless transition to your next car.

Benefits of Leasing Again:

• Always Drive the Latest: Enjoy the newest Ford models, packed with advanced technology and features.
• Lower Maintenance Costs: Leasing typically includes maintenance, helping reduce unexpected costs.
• Potentially Lower Payments: Depending on your lease agreement, your new monthly payments could be comparable to or lower than your current ones.

Option 2: Buy Your Leased Vehicle

If you've developed an attachment to your leased vehicle, purchasing it could be the perfect choice.

Considering a Buyout:

• Assess Vehicle Condition: Look at your vehicle's wear, tear, and mileage to decide if it's worth buying.
• Check Market Value: Compare your vehicle's market value to its buyout price.
• Financial Considerations: Review the total ownership costs, including monthly payments and depreciation, to determine if buying is right for you.

Option 3: Return Your Lease

If you're ready to move on, returning your vehicle is a simple and straightforward process.

Pre-Return Inspection:

• Schedule Inspection: Set up a pre-return inspection a few weeks before your lease ends.
• Inspection Process: A representative will check for wear and tear and any damage.
• What to Expect: The inspector will compare the vehicle's condition against your lease agreement's terms.

Final Return Steps and Possible Charges:

• Bring your original lease paperwork, all keys, the owner's manual, service records, and any accessories that came with the vehicle.
• Mileage Overages: Additional fees may be added if you've exceeded the mileage limit.
• Wear and Tear Charges: Damage beyond normal wear and tear may incur extra costs.
• Disposition Fee: This fee covers the administrative costs of processing the lease return.
